Despite Blue-Nile -lower-riparian countries' clamor For possible dearth Of water So that GERD, condemned, A reversal suffer They are now inundated By the river. Had GERD not been Born to life Imagine how their Plight could be rife! See how the stance of So called a great leader With a brain of a bird Proved absurd.

A false positive

Despite Blue-Nile -lower-riparian countries' clamor For possible dearth Of water So that GERD, condemned, A reversal suffer They are now inundated By the river. Had GERD not been Born to life Imagine how their Plight could be rife! See how the stance of So called a great leader With a brain of a bird Proved absurd.

Forefathers shedding blood In a spectacular Bravery and unity Heralded "A violated-not sovereignty And self confidence" For posterity! What is more An unpolluted culture And intact identity! Thus, maintaining integrity And hard-preserved identity Getting poverty and lack Behind our back, For the coming generation We have to pave the track With Mega projects Like --GERD-- So that on a bright tomorrow Our children embark!

Before UN Or the global limelight Flagrant, let us talk "GERD we threaten to attack, If for technical reasons It suffers a crack Will wipe out Down stream dwellers With the water it Carries on its back." Upstream dwellers Our brothers, With all sorts of trouble That we try to envelop And around whose neck We spare no effort To put a rope Could develop Coerced for hydropower To ***** We have to double Our dabble At the eleventh hour To create A trouble.

GERD has started To hold water Though Egypt's Phony politicians Were making Many a chatter That doesn't Hold water. At long last Ethiopia Is set free, Shaking of spokes, Its developmental take off To decree. To conflict-exporting Egypt's divisive wedge And conspiracy Ethiopians no more Give ear Cherishing a prosperity Journey dear. In tackling A mammoth project Ethiopia on its feet That stood Demonstrated With no need to aid From the Double-standard exercising IMF & World Bank -- All along Its ambitious way Against that stood To Egypt Showing favoritism And brotherhood-- When closing ranks for A just cause stand tall The shunned could. In the fight for Freedom Ethiopia was A beacon light to Africa Whose rays Did stretch to Jamaica. Repeats itself history GERD is reminiscent of, Adwa's victory.
